Don't be tempted, sir

It was time for dinner after the review, and the four of them ate together. Song Xiaoyuan saw that she was a little restrained as it was her first time in the palace, and wanted to take her away, but the palace servants brought a lot of Kongming lanterns, and Shen Yining did not let go, so she stayed again because she wanted to play with them.

As night fell, the servants ordered many lanterns in advance and released them together, and many wishes floated away in the air. The four of them came to the Jade Lake and lit the lanterns. The orange-yellow lights illuminated each other's faces. The four of them were all of good age, and the light in their eyes was shining.

The prince was happy and was the first to speak: "May the world be peaceful!"

Qizhu No. 2: "May the world be happy!"

Shen Yining held the flying lantern in his hand and said, "May everything go well!"

Looking at the innocent girl in front of him, he smiled and said gently: "I wish you peace and health!"

The Kongming lantern flew into the sky, joining the numerous wishes and conveying the good wishes to the stars in the sky. The people in the city also stopped to watch and make wishes, hoping that their wishes could also be heard by the heavens.

"Yan Shang, I will try my best to adapt to your life! Although it feels awkward, I just want to be with you and spend every day with you from now on!"

"Qizhu! I will definitely take good care of you! I will only live my life for you. If you like freedom, then you can be free. I don't want to change you! I just want you to be happy."

Looking at the two people with affection, Shen Yining and Song Xiaoyuan turned their heads to look at the lights gradually receding in the sky, raised their soft hands and put them into his sleeves to hold them, the warmth in his palms made their hearts palpitate.

"Song Xiaoyuan!"

"Ok?"

"Song Xiaoyuan"

"Ok!"

He looked up at the rippling eyes and said, "Will you always respond to me?"

"Um"

The next day, Shen Rushan came down from court and met Jiang Ziqing, the only son of the Jiang family, at the door. Jiang Ziqing politely bowed and greeted him. After entering the door, Shen Rushan went to change clothes and asked him to wait in the front hall. Shen Yining said last night that it was inconvenient for her to go to him, so Song Xiaoyuan took a day off today and came to the Shen Mansion to teach her how to prune orange branches. The servant took him to the front hall. Jiang Ziqing stood up and bowed politely. Song Xiaoyuan returned the greeting and they sat in the hall to drink tea.

Shen Yining dressed up neatly today and happily came to the front hall carrying a basket: "Here I am! I have made all the preparations for today. Lord Song..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked up and saw another person in the hall. He bowed quietly and said, "Hello, young master."

Song Xiaoyuan took the basket from her hand. Jiang Ziqing felt that the girl in front of him was so lively and smart, so he stood up and greeted her: "I am Jiang Ziqing, hello, Miss Shen."

"Hello, Mr. Jiang, are you waiting for my father?"

"Oh, no, I came here today to meet Miss Shen."

After changing his clothes, Shen Rushan came to the front hall and looked at the slender and healthy Song Xiaoyuan standing next to his daughter. He inexplicably felt that this young master of the Jiang family was too elegant. "Hahaha, come and sit down! Yining, this is Jiang Ziqing, the only son of the Jiang family that your mother found for you. You two can chat and get along in the garden of the mansion."

Shen Yining raised his head and glanced at Song Xiaoyuan behind him: "Father...this."

Song Xiaoyuan smiled warmly and replied: "Go ahead, I'll wait for you in the front hall."

Shen Yining could only leave with Jiang Ziqing, and kept looking back at Song Xiaoyuan. How could she not be angry?

Song Xiaoyuan bowed to Shen Rushan and sat in the front hall drinking tea and chatting. Shen Rushan spoke first: "Master Song, what is the matter with coming to the Shen family today on your day off?"

Song Xiaoyuan smiled warmly and replied, "Sorry to bother you. I came to help Miss Shen prune the orange branches."

"Sir Song and my daughter are... friends? Or something else..."

"friend."

"I don't think Lord Song wants to be just friends."

Song Xiaoyuan's eyes moved slightly, but he still smiled warmly and said, "Of course."

Shen Rushan sat up straight with an imposing manner: "Last time, I said that Yi Ning is still young, she doesn't know what kind of person you are. I have served in the same court with you for many years and everyone says that you are humble and kind. Song Xiaoyuan and Yi Ning are innocent and naive, which is not suitable for you. She has never seen your crazy appearance, and I am afraid that seeing you will only scare her."

Song Xiaoyuan's eyes were dead silent. Shen Rushan said, "Let's go and take a look in the garden."

Shen Yining felt a little awkward as she walked with Jiang Ziqing on the gravel road. Jiang Ziqing spoke first: "Miss Shen is familiar with Mr. Song?"

"Ah."

"Miss Shen, what are your hobbies? What do you like?"

Shen Yining lowered his head and twirled his handkerchief: "I... I don't have any hobbies. It seems that I have only revolved around one person since I was a child. After a long time, he became my hobby. Later, he died and my hobbies and likes were gone..."

Until I met Song Xiaoyuan, I was standing alone in the dark and couldn't figure out the direction, and he came towards me with a lantern. Maybe that time of care, his light in the darkness was me, and my light in the darkness was him. In the fog, the words [Shen Yining! I'm here!] He came closer with a lantern to illuminate the night. I no longer revolved around anyone and had no direction, but he pulled me out of the darkness with a lantern, and I found that there were more beautiful things in the world that I had never touched!

Shen Yining's eyes were full of stars, and she looked up with a lively smile: "I like to see all the beauty in the world!"

Jiang Ziqing looked at the lively girl, and stared at her vigorous white face with satisfaction: "Miss Shen is very interesting, Ziqing wishes to see the beauty with Miss Shen!"

Shen Yining came back to his senses: "Hahaha, sorry I don't know where to find it. Next time I see it I will be the first to tell Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Ziqing was defeated by her naivety: "Haha, good!"

Shen Rushan and Song Xiaoyuan were walking in the distance, watching the two talking and laughing. Shen Rushan turned around and looked at Song Xiaoyuan, who had one hand behind his back, looking righteous and awe-inspiring, with no trace of jealousy in his eyes, but more of a calm and indifferent look.

Shen Rushan said: "Look, people of the same age as you are a good match."

Song Xiaoyuan smiled warmly: "But she seems a little restrained."

"That must be because Jiang Jiazi is young and Yi Ning is embarrassed."

"Oh?"

Seeing that he was still calm, Shen Rushan questioned: "I don't think you like Yining that much, so don't even think about playing with her!"

Song Xiaoyuan curled his lips: "I just don't want her to be embarrassed. It's her right to like whoever she wants."

Shen Rushan was somewhat satisfied that he respected his daughter. It seemed that it was better for a man to be more mature.

"Let's go! It's almost time for dinner, please stay and eat, Lord Song."

"Thank you!"

Shen Changsi came to the dining room to see Song Xiaoyuan, and happily ran over to sit next to him: "Long time no see, little uncle."

Song Xiaoyuan smiled warmly: "Long time no see, Changsi."

Changjun came and unexpectedly sat next to him: "Xiaoyuan, why didn't you come to see me when you came to the mansion?"

"General Shen came here because he wanted to talk to me."

Shen Rushan said loudly: "It's me? Aren't you here to see Yining?" He was unhappy. Why do all the children in the Shen family like Song Xiaoyuan?

Shen Yining and Jiang Ziqing came over, and Changsi was excited: "Sister, come and sit here! My uncle is here, and my father said he is looking for you."

Shen Yining sat down next to Changsi, and Jiang Ziqing sat opposite him because it was not convenient for him to sit next to him. Madam Shen came with the servant who carried the dishes. When she saw Song Xiaoyuan paused, she immediately sat down again and told everyone not to be restrained.
